Magnificus (Animated)
| This article is about the clone from Animated. For the former Generation 1 Decepticon general, see Magnificus (G1). |
- Magnificus is a Decepticon from the Transformers Animated continuity family.
Magnificus is a clone of Perceptor created by the Decepticons. Though he retains the same level of intelligence as his template, he holds no interest in making scientific breakthroughs for the Decepticon cause. Rather, the ways of politics caught Magnificus's fancy, and after proving very adept at such duties, he was assigned to keep species enslaved by the Decepticons under control.
Fiction
Animated
After the Great War, Megatron enlisted Scalpel to clone the Autobot's greatest scientific mind, Perceptor, in order to turn the intellect that won the war against the Autobots as part of Operation: Doppelgänger. Despite Starscream's insistence that copying the Autobot scientist's design schematics would not be enough to turn defeat into victory, Megatron allowed the project to continue. Magnificus was the end result, and a complete failure at achieving the goals he was created for. He was eventually made a military consul at Ijurn. Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II
